Jessie Li: Roam/CN and Collective Intelligence
In this episode, we talk with Jessie Li, an independent consultant at Singapore Management University's Innovation and Entrepreneurship Center, and Founder of Fat Garage, an interesting website covering Chinese entrepreneurs in niche markets, such as asteroid mining, synthetic biology, and more.
She founded the roam/cn Community, a collective of Roam users from all walks of life in Mandarin, filled with videos, articles, and other resources to learn together, and develop use cases for Roam Research.
We talked about:
- How she discovered Roam through Product Hunt, and getting jealous of her friend's Roam graph
- Supporting Chinese Roam users in roam/cn and growing up to 200+ members
- The future of Roam in media, as a university and a new Twitter
Enjoy!
Thank you to Matt Brockwell for the awesome review!
